Non-Standard Weapons
X786Ο Flamethrower

The X786 is an impressively rare weapon in the SFMC. Until the Dominion War it was only ever issued to Combat Engineers when combating wildfires; used to create controlled firebreaks and counter-fires. It was turned into a combat weapon during the Dominion Wars.

When a Jem Hadar is shrouded (there version of cloaking device), you could fire a phaser or EMPW weapon aimlessly and never hit them. However, it was discovered accidentally that the Jem Hadar shroud is not im-pervious to fire when a combat engineer hit one that got trapped in a wild fire and the combat engineer was doing a controlled fire break to slow down the wildfire. From that day forward, the SFMC issued a limited number of X786s to front line units.

It was the SFMC idea that the X786 could be used to blunt Jem’Hadar suicide charges and / or do small con-trolled fires when it was suspected Jem Hadar were spying or lying in wait to attack members of the SFMC. The x786 is also an effective weapon against the Breen as they wear cold suits and hate fire.
